Dear Parent or Guardian,

Please log into your Stopfinder app before school starts (August 21, 2025) to check your students bus schedule. If your student does not have a schedule or their information is incorrect please log into Finalforms to make corrections and email mikeb@limashawnee.com.

The SHAWNEE LOCAL SCHOOLS will be once again using the Stopfinder app. Stopfinder is the easy to use, all-in-one app that allows you to have the most accurate information about your student’s bus schedule at anytime from anywhere. In addition to displaying your student’s transportation information, Stopfinder features a private messaging feature that will allow you to communicate directly with the SHAWNEE Transportation Department. You can also create GeoAlerts for your student, which will notify you when the bus has arrived in or departed from any location on your student’s route, including their assigned bus stop and school. GeoAlert Alert Zones can be created for individual students allowing you to customize the Alert Zone based on their bus route.The email address that is currently on file with the district, the address used for this communication, will be used for Stopfinder setup. Please verify you have the information in Final Forms. Stopfinder can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play. Stopfinder will require an invite and registration through the district prior to accessing your student’s transportation schedule. Please watch your email for a Stopfinder invitation .Thank you, SHAWNEE TRANSPORTATION DEPT. This is important as this is the only means of checking your students' bus information.
